Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device supply of ammunition for portable weapons automatic, in which the supply is controlled by the return of the cylinder head and the magazine containing the ammunition extends parallel to the axis of the barrel of the weapon, the ammunition being arranged perpendicular to the aforementioned axis and under it.
- the invention relates in particular to a supply device for so-called "fragile" ammunition, such as ammunition without socket.
- phase supply takes place when the cylinder head returns. This last drives the ammunition from its presentation position (substantially parallel to the axis of the barrel) to the chamber of the barrel by pushing (shocks) on the base of the ammunition.
- this feeding device must allow the transfer of ammunition from a longitudinal magazine placed in the axis of the barrel, the ammunition being presented perpendicular to the axis of the barrel.
- This choice takes advantage of the advantages offered by light ammunition because it allows to integrate chargers to large capacity (increased endowment of ammunition from infantryman) without altering the compactness of the weapon.
- Patent FR2257887 describes a weapon with a rotating chamber comprising a longitudinal loader and in which the ammunition is introduced into the chamber perpendicular to the axis of the barrel.
- This device implements a pusher introduction which exerts an effort on the base of the ammunition.
- it implements a rotating chamber specific and cannot be transposed to a weapon in which the ammunition must be introduced into the barrel.
- Patent application EP599683 published on 06/01/94 and benefiting from the priority date of 24/11/92 described also an ammunition supply system for a handgun rotary chamber. This device also does not allow the introduction of ammunition into the barrel of a weapon.
- this device is characterized in that the mechanism includes two levers controlled by the recoil of the cylinder head and allowing to take and move the ammunition with a elevator, the elevator allowing the introduction of the ammunition in the guide during the first phase and being shaped so as to rotate with the guide and the ammunition at during the second phase, mechanism also allowing during a third phase to move the elevator towards the gun to introduce the ammunition into the latter and the release the guide at the same time.
- the feeding device thus allows when reversing of the breech to take the magazine ammunition from from their position perpendicular to the barrel, raising them up, then rotate them 90 ° to present them next to the barrel and finally to push them successively in the barrel.
- the cylinder head has on one of its sides a groove in which is engaged a finger secured to part of the mechanism feed, this groove comprising a first part extending from the rear of the cylinder head in parallel to the direction of movement of the bolt, a second part forming a rising ramp and a third part extending parallel to the direction of travel of the breech forward of it.
- This groove controls successively the elevation of the elevator perpendicular to the direction of movement of the bolt, the rotation of 90 ° of the elevator and guide, then the displacement of the elevator towards the barrel.
- said finger is carried by the end of a first lever pivotally connected to a fixed part of the weapon, the other end of this lever being connected so articulated with a second lever which is itself connected pivoting on the one hand to a member rotatably mounted in part of the weapon, said member comprising a guide to position and transport the ammunition and other on the other hand, the lever being articulated at the ammunition elevator.
- said member is mounted in rotation in an imprint formed in the housing of tear.
- said member is a flat piece of substantially shaped circular, guided in rotation in a footprint of complementary form.
- said member comprises on one of its faces, a groove in which is engaged the elevator.
- This groove guides the sliding of the elevator.
- said member carries a guide with a chute for receiving a ammunition and extending parallel to the groove in which is engaged the elevator.
- the elevator comprises a rectilinear part engaged in the groove of said member to be able to slide in this one, this rectilinear part comprising at its lower end, a heel extending towards the chute carried by said member, said heel being capable of engage under ammunition to move it around the chute of said organ during the elevation of said elevator.
- Figures 1 and 2 show a weapon portable automatic, in which is integrated a device 1 for supplying ammunition 2 controlled by the return of the cylinder head 3 and a charger 4 containing ammunition which extends parallel to the axis of the barrel 5 of the weapon.
- Ammo 2 is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the barrel and under this one.
- the cylinder head 3 has on one of its sides a groove 11 in which is engaged a finger 12 secured to the lever 6 of the feeding mechanism.
- This groove 11 comprising a first part 11a extending from the rear of the breech parallel to the direction of displacement D of the cylinder head 3, a second part 11b forming a rising ramp and a third part llc extending parallel to the direction of travel D of the cylinder head 3 towards the front thereof.
- the finger 12 is carried by the end of a first lever 6 pivotally connected (at 13) to a fixed part constituted by the housing 14 of the weapon (see Figures 3 and 5).
- the other end of the lever 6 is connected so articulated (at 15) to a second lever 7 itself connected to pivotally (at 16) to a member 9 mounted in rotation along axis 18 in the housing of the weapon.
- the member 9 hereinafter called the guide transporter includes a guide 10 for positioning and transporting the ammunition 2.
- the lever 7 is also connected in a way articulated (in 19) (see Figure 11) to the elevator 8 of the ammunition 2.
- the guide conveyor 9 is mounted in rotation in an imprint 20 formed in the housing 14 of the weapon, as shown in Figure 15.
- the guide conveyor 9 is a flat form part substantially circular, guided in rotation in the imprint 20 represented in FIG. 15 which presents a complementary form.
- the guide conveyor 9 comprises on one of its faces, a groove 21 (see FIG. 8), in which elevator 8 is engaged.
- Guide carrier 9 carries guide 10 having a chute for receiving an ammunition 2 and extending parallel to the groove 21 in which is engaged the elevator 8.
- the elevator 8 comprises a rectilinear part 22 engaged in the groove 21 of the guide conveyor 9 for be able to slide in it.
- This straight part 22 has at its lower end a heel 23 extending towards the chute of the guide 10 carried by the guide carrier 9.
- the heel 23 of the elevator can engage under ammunition 2 to move it in the chute of guide 10 when the elevation of the elevator 8.
- the first lever 6 extends in its position initial (see figure 11) above the second lever 7.
- This lever 6 has a generally arcuate shape.
- the second lever 7 has a substantially straight shape.
- the first lever 6 is connected to the second lever 7 and the latter is connected to the elevator 8 by pivots 15, 19 engaged in grooves 24, 25 allowing a some translation in the direction of elongation of the second lever 7.
- a stop is provided to block in rotation the guide conveyor 9 carrying the guide 10 chute-shaped during the initial phase elevation of elevator 8 and a second stop is designed to block the rotation again aforementioned guide carrier, after rotation thereof 90 ° from the initial position (shown on Figure 11), during the displacement phase of the elevator 8 towards the barrel 5.
- the abovementioned stops are formed in the imprint 20 formed in the housing 14 of the weapon.
- the cavity 20 comprises a substantially circular part but having two slightly different radii R 1 , R 2 , in which the rotary guide-carrier 9 is housed.
- This substantially circular part opens downward into a groove 26 in which the elevator 8 is engaged during the vertical elevation phase.
- This substantially circular part also opens into a second groove 27 located 90 ° from the previous one in which the elevator 8 engages during its phase of movement towards the barrel 5.
